Smith County Quitclaim Deed (LLC Grantor) Form

The grantor on this Kansas quitclaim deed is a company. A limited liability company holds the record title, the grantor block names it together with the jurisdiction whose law it exists under, and one human being signs for it under a section that states the capacity in which that person acts. The transfer itself is ordinary: the K.S.A. 58-2204 quitclaim moves whatever interest the company holds at delivery and promises nothing about it. Searches that land here read LLC quitclaim deed, quit claim deed from a company, or deed out of an LLC.

Where a company's power to convey comes from

Kansas keeps the power itself in the statute and the answer to who exercises it in the operating agreement. K.S.A. 17-7668(b) grants a limited liability company every power the act, another law, or its own operating agreement confers, which is where holding and disposing of real estate sits. K.S.A. 17-7693 supplies the default: management belongs to the members in proportion to their current interest in profits, more than half controlling, unless the operating agreement vests it in a manager instead. The conveyancing statutes ask only for authority: K.S.A. 58-2205 speaks of a deed executed by any person having authority to convey, and K.S.A. 58-2209 of one subscribed by the party granting it or by that party's lawful agent. No Kansas deed execution statute is written for companies: K.S.A. 17-6003 covers corporate conveyances, and the limited liability company act carries no counterpart. Section 11 accordingly recites the capacity and the fact of authorization. That recital states what the signer asserts, and it does not by itself establish, prove, or confirm what the operating agreement permits; the resolution or members' consent behind it is separate paperwork, prepared apart from this package and not included in it.

Who signs when the owner is a company

Twelve numbered sections carry the arrangement. Section 1 names the company and its state of organization, Section 2 names the signing individual and that person's capacity, and the sections between gather the grantee with any co-ownership designation, the address Kansas sends to the county clerk for tax statements, the consideration, the county and legal description, the vesting instrument, matters of record, and the questionnaire entry. One signature block follows above a printed name line, in the style K.S.A. 28-115(c) contemplates, and one certificate follows in the representative capacity short form of K.A.R. 7-43-17(a)(2) rather than the individual form. K.S.A. 53-5a02(a) is the reason: a record signed in a representative capacity is acknowledged as signed with proper authority and as the act of the entity named in it. Configurations of this shape appear when a company winds up and passes its real estate to the members, when a parcel moves between affiliated companies under common ownership, and when a company that took title under a former name conveys under its current one. The grantor being a company rather than a married person, no spousal consent block is drawn, and a company whose operating agreement calls for two managers to execute a conveyance presents a second signature line this layout does not carry.

The exemption list has no entry for entities

A company transfer meets the Kansas sales validation questionnaire without a category of its own. Recording is blocked by K.S.A. 79-1437c unless the Department of Revenue questionnaire comes with the deed, and the sixteen items of K.S.A. 79-1437e(a) name trusts, gifts, divorce settlements, and quit claim deeds filed for the purpose of clearing title encumbrances. Not one of them reaches a transfer to or from a business entity as such, so a company deed usually travels with a completed questionnaire even where nothing is paid. Section 10 takes either answer: the exemption number K.S.A. 79-1437e(b) wants clearly stated on the filed document, or a line recording that the questionnaire rides along. Directive 19-041 tells registers of deeds not to supply that information. Fees under K.S.A. 28-115 run to twenty-one dollars for a first page and seventeen after it, with no transfer tax anywhere in Kansas.
